Title:
/etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default file not run if automatic login is enabled

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gdm
In Ubuntu 10.04 with gdm 2.30.0, the file /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default
is not run if automatic login is enabled.
This was tested on 2 very different configurations:
- 2 desktops which were recently upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic then
to Lucid;
- 1 laptop with a fresh install of Lucid.
Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. Create a simple /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default file, for example with
this content:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Test" > /tmp/aaa
2. Logout from your session and log in again.
Check for the existence of a /tmp/aaa file. It will exist.
3. Delete the /tmp/aaa file. Enable automatic login to any existing
account and reboot.
Check for the existence of a /tmp/aaa file. This time it will NOT
exist.
4. Disable the automatic login and reboot, then login into the same
account as before.
Check for the existence of a /tmp/aaa file. Now it will exist again.
My conclusion is that the file /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default is run
during a manual login but ignored during an automatic login.
I would expect the file to be run in both cases, as this happened for example
with Jaunty.
One more detail: I did a similar test with /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default
and found it is NOT affected by this bug.
